In the history of the Flames franchise, 606 players have tugged a red sweater over their heads and suited up for a regular season game. Of those, 22 played just a single game for either the Calgary or Atlanta Flames. We call them One Game Wonders.
Let’s talk about another One Game Wonder, blueliner Darryl Olsen.
Olsen’s kind of a neat story. A Calgary kid, he played his high-end hockey in the AJHL and was drafted by the Flames in the ninth round in 1985. He headed to college, playing four seasons with the NCAA’s Northern Michigan University Wildcats.
